chronic bloating?

Tags: bloating, chronic bloating, gastroparesis, IBS

I am 17 years old and have chronic bloating like no other. Every day i wake up somewhat not bloated but usually still bloated. After eating or drinking anything it seems to get much worse. I have had an upper GI and they said something that interested me. They said my stomach was still really full. But i had fasted for over 12 hours. So what im thinking is that i have gastroparesis (slow emptying stomach). Anyone have any suggestions. I really need to get this bloating under control...its taking over my life

What did your doctor, I am assuming Gastrointerologist tell you to do about it? Didn't the doctor give you any advice or guidance?

no he didnt mention anything except hey your stomach his full, after doing research on my own i came across gastroparesis and recognized i had a lot of the symptoms...after numerous tests for stuff like lactose intolerance and SIBO he just said i have IBS and to up my fiber intake. I havent gone back since (3 months ago) but i may go back soon because my stomach has not gotten any better yet
